Senator Marco Rubio questions fired FBI Director James Comey and discovers President Trump doesn’t know the politically correct order of operations when approaching a request to get beyond hyper-partisan politicized investigative nonsense; which led to Comey instructing Trump orbit how the chain of political command works in DC; which led to President Trump agreeing the investigation should be carried out thoroughly and entirely because he wants to get this ridiculous investigative cloud off his back so he can get back to doing the work he was elected to do; and President Trump wants anyone connected to Russia improperly to be discovered so he can get rid of them and move on.

What amazes me is that these bottom feeders do not seem to think they are accountable to anyone–not even their own bosses, POTUS, Congressional Oversight Committees, the AG and a Deputy AG.

This goes against our American, constitutional way, especially for LE such as our Police, the FBI, etc.

These people are very powerful, and they must be (and always are) under the control of elected officials, the latter being accountable to the people.

Comey seems to think the buck stops with him…..He is a prima donna, drama filled showboater…. who seems to think he is only accountable to himself. Trump showed him differently–I would have fired him on day one. Now, I hope Comey is prosecuted in the vein of the WH leaker.

Rubo won with democrat votes Murphy the Democrat who used to be a republican was getting all the republican votes. Murphy did not vote for the TPP, NDAA, and the Patriot act. Rubio is head of the senate foreign intelligence agency he can do more harm from within then Murphy. Murphy is actually more conservative. Rubio is for cap and trade, gun control an amnesty whats the difference between the two? That Murphy is not a globalist and would always vote Trumps way. Just like Manchin in West Virginia.

I hope one of those gentlemen run against Bill Nelson who is up for reelection in 2018. I believe Alan West moved to Texas didn’t he? I’d prefer West over Scott, but Scott probably has better name recognition and I think he’ll fully support POTUS’s agenda.

Alan West licked the boots of John McCain while he was in office. The Colonel didn’t have the spine to not vote to raise the debt ceiling or vote against the Omnibus. That’s why he got voted out in only one term.

Hmmmm.. just now he made a statement that he agrees with Comey in that President Trump needs to be more careful in the way he addresses different branches of government. Also Ryan just said the same thing but even worse: Trump doesn’t know the protocol , he’s inexperienced etc..

You took the words right out of my mouth. Screw protocol.
The ast thing we want is for Trump to pick up the Demonrat’s bad, immoral behavior that, as you so nicely said, “steals the wealth of the nation and screws taxpayers.”

CrowdStrike is the creator of Cozy Bear, then Fancy Bear, then Guiciffer 2.0 as successive leaks of Podesta, DNS emails poured out and RussiaGate collapsed. Leaker ‘Reality Winner’ another desperate NSA gaslighting event. The string of Seth Rich connected murders is staggering, as are the high level swamp rat players.

[FBI Anon from 4chan] A: In public, mixed feelings; but privately, many of us are pleased. The rank and file feel like trained fight dogs waking up to the sound of gunfire and realizing they are muzzled. The agency has been politically weaponized. Most of us know how hard the agency worked to dismantle the Hoover era political tradecraft and to see it alive and well is disheartening. If we were given a mandate to investigate DC in its entirety, you could see 70% of your politicians being indicted. The Rank and File want nothing more than to see Americans witness that nobody, no matter how powerful, is above the law. I felt Comey was a good guy, but now feel he was compromised and did a disservice to the nation on July 5th 2016.

ANON asked: Has anything happened inside the FBI since Comey’s firing involving talks of knowing Comey’s involvement with the Clintons?
A: Yes. There may be news regarding McCabe within months, if not sooner.

The FBI does not NEED a ‘boss who was well liked’….They need a Commander who is feared, whose honesty is above reproach, and who is the enemy of Crime – where ever, when ever, and whom ever it may be. ‘A boss who was well liked’ sounds, IMO, a lot like a popularity contest in High School. I am not picking on you YY4Y….but the FBI needs a saber-tooth tiger in this age of pussy-cats. Again, IMO.

Dis-A-gree! Let’s just say my personal, close friend and x-roommate and recently retired SAC for an unnamed State is beyond thrilled that this poser is gone. Comey was a complete anathema the the true FBI Agents (not to be confused with the desk jockeys, especially in DCA)

yy4u: “I was shocked to learn recently from someone who was close to someone who worked for the FBI that Comey was well liked.”

Funny, that. A friend of the nail tech who does my 2nd cousin’s ex-girlfriends nails said she knew someone that used to be married to someone that knew a former FBI agent and they said exactly the same thing!

Comey was well liked? Is that why over 100 FBI agents threatened to resign under him to get him to do his damn JOB in the Clinton corruption scandal? The only reason he re-opened the investigation on Clinton was to take all the evidence the NYPD had acquired while investigating Weiners laptop and remove the NYPD from tge investigation! He then found no wrong doing AGAIN and probably destroyed whatever evidence there was on that laptop. Your friend of a friend is either obtuse or stupid.

I was seriously wondering if Comey leaked Flynn’s name to the press. It’s strange that reports say only a hand full of people had that info & it would be easy to find the leaker but no one has been arrested yet.
If it’s Comey, DOJ will have to be extremely careful how they handle it due to media & conspiracy theories & it would make sense that “The Leaker” hasn’t been arrested. Maybe Sessions knows exactly who it is & is just working behind the scene while all this Comey spotlight plays itself out. (Firing him was step one).
Now that Comey has testified & admitted to leaking the “memo” it will be easier to out him for other leaks.

Guess we will wait & see but if Comey had a hand in it, we may start to see more about the Flynn leaker.

With these swamp critters in charge, everything Pres. Trump has said, or done since his election, as been an: “OMG, how stupid” , “OMG, how crass”, “OMG this and OMG that” political BS game.
None of that means anything!
It’s all garbage of the swamp critters, who make up stuff, destroy stuff, so they can have a day in the sun, while fixing all the problems they created and rebuilding all that they completely destroyed and we the taxpayers get to pay for it……..
That is not how Donald J. Trump ever operated and they all knew it and still know it today.
Pres. Trump’s only failing, as far as I can see, is that he was and is a ‘straight-shooter’. If he had a question, he asked the question assuming he was going to get a straight answer BUT never, ever believe he fully trusts anyone around him.
And he always takes the necessary precautions.
It completely baffles me why this President, (who has accomplished so much, in such a short time, with everyone imaginable trying to undermine his efforts hourly), continues to be so under-rated.

Cyrlous, I think that he got the job when Clinton and Obama were running against each other for President. It seems likely to me that when they had a meeting, Hillary gave Obama her terms for dropping out of the race for the Democratic nomination. It looks as if part of her terms were going to be who would be installed and where. Comey and Loretta Lynch worked in the same law firm that was involved in the exoneration of the Clintons in the Whitewater case. I could be wrong, so if someone else knows, I am interested, too.

I did not care for Sen. Rubio’s after hearing presser take on the “loyalty” aspect of Trump/Comey conversation. Sen. Rubio knows how to sound politically correct for the large viewing audience. I don’t care for how he is driving the narrative.

I felt exactly the same and I’m still reeling from it particularly when his buddy Ryan began pushing the “inexperienced ” narrative of the day referring to President Trump. In other words folks ” yes he did it. He tried to influence honorable Comey but hey guys cut him a break. He’s just inexperienced!! , unlike us of course” Wow!! Very backstabbing. The

Truepundit reported months ago that Comey, Macabee et all were planning to take down Trump in closed meetings. Comey hinted to such in his testimony. It was reported that the plan was to get special prosecutor which Comey also admitted. Rob,Comey and Fuller are all friends. Fuller NEEDS TO BE RESCUED or shut down

I want to thank you personally for your line of questioning of James Comey earlier today which allowed the public to know that President Trump agreed to the investigation being carried out thoroughly and entirely because he wants to get this ridiculous investigative cloud off his back so he can get back to doing the work he was elected to do; and President Trump wants anyone connected to Russia improperly to be discovered so he can get rid of them and move on.

Your last line of questioning was amazing! It is incredible that NO ONE leaked that our President is not under investigation given everyone that was aware of that in the IC world and in Congress.

I am proud today to have voted for you!

Thanks
Felice

But then, where was Rubio support for President Trump’s in all those weeks?

I sense Rubio is just doing that just to stay in the relevant spotlight, when things weren’t going well for Comey today. I wouldn’t be surprised if all these Committee Members have Plan A and Plan B questions in front of them, in case it goes the oppostion direction. Expect DeepState to have written those questions. Notice most of them don’t follow the answers with more, many more, questions.

I do get what you’re saying. So Rubio”s so dumb, that he thinks and react like a dog?
Gee, we need honest, intelligent, & Pro American Congress, instead of trained seals or dogs as HR, above, pointed out.
Personally, I had such deep disrespect for both Rubio/Cruz during the campaign-they both are disgusting, along with some of the other candidates, but those two were the worse-hard to forget. And neither weren’t even qualify to run, hence the knock-down on Rube today.

I want you to know how much all your postings have help to remind or clarify things, esp when events are moving or changing so fast that many of us can’t keep up with it.
Keep it up. God Bless You.

Good about sending something personal in a few weeks? Hell I’ve been waiting years for the little turd to answer my letters and emails to him regarding H1B visas. He never met an H1B visa he didn’t like. I’ve never gotten anything beyond an auto-reply and fund raising requests.

Bill Nelson’s office is even worse. I wrote and called his office back in 2006 and 2007 regarding insurance/hospital loopholes and massive over billing with my daughter’s cancer treatment. I asked Nelson to consider introducing medical price gouging measures to protect consumers. I never heard from him regarding that, but somehow I’m on his mailing list for everything Medicare. How many parents of 7 years olds are on Medicare??? Still ticks me off!

You are an inspiration. I just followed a lead to the Justice Dept. on another thread, and left a comment for the AG. I likely would not have done so. If not for the lead shown by you and others on this site.

Pompous Tools otherwise know as Senators (and Congressmen). Eight plus years of these kabuki dances called “Hearings”. Not one indictment. (someone please correct me if wrong). Purpose of hearings is to grind it into a fine powder, give it a puff and it all disappears. Maybe Hearings means “hear what you want to hear”.

That’s what I’d been thinking, but Comey’s written statement presents Trump as having spoken the next sentence after mentioning Russia, which only makes things weird and confusing. But, I think it has been sorted out. Comey, after all, is famous for nailing Martha Stewart. He was trying to nail Flynn on a process crime. Therefore, for having lied about the not-illegal contacts with Russia in some way, and not to Pence but rather to the FBI in the interviews that followed.. which we know about because of leaks. Which is very curious. So, Comey may have been seeking to nail Flynn on a vague charge of perjury but as yet, had nothing solid… and yet, Comey persisted, not wanting to “let him walk”.

Jeremiah — Don’t forget that Comey was second in command to Patrick Fitzgerald — his friend, I think — who was the special prosecutor who nailed Scooter Libby for Richard Armitage’s having leaked Valerie Plame’s name to Robert Novak — something Fitzgerald knew before he asked Scooter Libby this first question. That was a Bush era Democrat witch hunt attempted coup to bring down Dick Cheney. Libby didn’t implicate Cheney, so the coup did not succeed, however, it shows how the Democrats work and that a) the Republicans are feckless enablers and b) this would have happened to ANY Republican who’d had the audacity to defeat a Democrat — ANY Democrat — for the presidency. So how is being witless, feckless, enabling wusses working out for you, Republicans?

The FBI did say that Flynn was honest in his answers and that no charges were pending. As Flynn knew from his intelligence experience that he would be recorded, he would tell them the truth. He just lied to Pence and I don’t blame him one but. Why did Pence need to know anyway? Why did Pence feel the need to say something about it on T.V. I smelled a rat right away.
Of course, it is easier for Comey to say he cannot answer that question because it leaves doubt in the minds of people. If you notice, he is quick to imply there is a problem with Trump and his administration but refuses to speak when Trump is not guilty. This is how the game is played. Why have we not heard until today that Trump asked for everyone to be looked at regarding Russia. They didn’t want you to know because it made him look good.

Must be hard to keep those lies straight, Comey. Then again, maybe Comey knew Sessions was going to be forced to recuse because he knew about what was going to be leaked about Sessions and his rather innocuous meeting with the Russian guy (who routinely meets with Senators and others). Snake pit, Comey just another snake.

Let me see if I have this straight. Comey testified that he only leaked the memos in response to a Trump tweet but the New York Times was quoting from those memos the day before the Trump tweet. Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t that referred to in legal circles as “perjury?”

I actually got that the first time I heard him say it. Why hillery off why not Trump off? It was funny half and hour later seeing the twitter blew up. First time Mcstain got it right but he still should have followed up.

Here is an idea, going forward focus on the whatever you want, just step down so the people of Arizona can stop being embarrassed by your dementia mixed arrogance! Also in the future, try to take responsibility for your action, not blame them on either your intelligence being “over our heads” or the fact that you were up late watching a 6pm Baseball game — YOUR OUT!!!

Comey: “I didn’t have the presence of mind at the time….” Really? The leader of the FBI is thrown off balance during a cordial conversation, how did he cope with the really hard dark stuff on a daily basis? Secret squirrel he is not! Nor should he have the honor and the privilege to lead the men and women who are in the trenches everyday who don’t have the luxury of wimping out!

Lets not forget that all of us needs to vote in the 2018 congressional elections (Even if you have to vote for a RINO). To SAVE DJT, we need a majority in both houses. If we loose it the impeachment attempts will continue !

Today, James Comey unwittingly (and possibly unknowingly) revealed the brilliance of President Trump’s strategy to identify leakers. Much was made in today’s hearing about the President sending VP Pence, Jeff Sessions and Jared Kushner out of the room so that he could talk privately with then FBI Director Comey. This, I believe, was planned and purposeful. President Trump told Director Comey information in that one-on-one meeting that ONLY Director Comey would know because everyone else had been asked to leave the room. When that information later appeared in the NY Times, the President KNEW the identity of the leaker, since ONLY Director Comey had been given that specific information. Some want to attempt to make the one-on-one meeting appear to be nefarious in that President Trump didn’t want anyone else to hear what he was asking of Director Comey. I suggest it had a much different purpose… he wanted to make sure that ONLY Director Comey heard what was said… so that IF that information appeared in the press, only Comey could have provided it. Today, Comey not only detailed the one-on-one meeting but openly ADMITTED to having leaked the content of that conversation through a third party in a weak attempt to hide his own involvement. Once again, President Trump outwitted him and clearly “outted” Director Comey as on of the leakers.

Look at the timeline of this scenario. Comey FIRST told Trump he was NOT under investigation JANUARY 7, 2017. Comey was fired after Trump took over. Comey leaks some type of communication to the PRESS so it could be published. Trump probably knew Comey was leaking stuff out. Comey intentionally did not tell the truth to the press. Trump fired the bastard for good reason. Comey is the same guy who investigated Killery for Watergate-that says it all. PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS JUSTIFIED IN FIRING COMEY. TRUMP 2020
